September is Here!

September is here!  The days go by so fast!  Fall is in the air but we had a terrific summer.  Four days into the month already.  MrB and I are starting to get out of our relax mode slowly but surely.  We do have company for a few days so half being leisure and half been progressing into Sock-mode!  Thursday night company is departing and Friday we will have switched into high gear getting ready and focusing on a show/demo for Saturday in our very own local area.  As always, we are both looking forward to this event to see how our participations pan out.  It is always fun doing a new event and meeting new people and see how they react to our product, our SOCKS!  Throughout the last few days MrB has increased our inventory with some Baby Hats and a few weeks back also cranked out some more soap sacks.  He added another pair of socks to our inventory too yesterday, and today is working on a special  order for a friend of his son.  This pair will go off to Newfoundland to a gal who is an archeaologist.  We are very excited to see if they meet her wants and her needs.  She will have special delivery so need for shipping, that is a bonus for her indeed!  The pair of socks that MrB did last night are out on the clothesline drying.  When they are dry I will post a picture of them.  They are a men's pair in soft blues and grey almost appearing a very light mauve in some lights also.  The yarn is from Lanna Grossa ( sp ?)  and appears to be a top second for us to use, and Brigadier 88 likes it very much also!  Like MrB says, it slides through the machine, our Erl, like butter! It is a close contender to the Opal Yarn that we really like a lot!  Well thats our first few days of September update.  Thank you so much to all of you for following us along our journey!  I try to get here at least once a week to carry-on the Socks Made On 88 story, documenting it little by little in my blog enteries.  Solong for now, catch you again later,
